Now

What am I doing right now? That’s the point of a now page.

Com­mu­ni­ty:

  • I was elect­ed to be the Demo­c­ra­t­ic vot­er reg­is­trar in War­ren, CT in the Novem­ber 2024 elec­tion. I’m now tak­ing the cer­ti­fi­ca­tion class­es and soon hope to take the final exam.

Work:

  • I cur­rent­ly main­tain sev­er­al Craft CMS sites and am look­ing to add anoth­er one or two to my plate. If you have a Craft CMS site that needs a Craft pro’s atten­tion, don’t hes­i­tate to con­tact me.
  • I launched a Craft CMS plu­g­in, Bespo­ken. The plu­g­in cre­ates high-qual­i­ty audio nar­ra­tion for Craft CMS sites using the AI from Eleven­Labs. Improv­ing your site’s acces­si­bil­i­ty has nev­er been eas­i­er. In the time since its launch, I’ve sold exact­ly no copies! It’s a good plu­g­in, IMO, but I don’t think there is a com­meri­cial mar­ket for it with­in the Craft ecosys­tem. Dang!
  • I’ve been work­ing on client project where my task was to opti­mize the site’s speed, updat­ing the build sys­tem and deploy­ment process. That sounds geeky, but I have real­ly enjoyed it.
  • I’ve got a new, small Gist to share. It’s a bash script that I run night­ly on this site to warm the cache and to serv­er pages as fast as pos­si­ble. https://​gist​.github​.com/​j​o​h​n​f​m​o​r​t​o​n​/​d​f​5745​d​997057402491​e​25​b​37​e​33043e The script also shows me which pages are the slow­est load­ing so that I can know what issues to address.
